Waspaloy is an age hardening nickel base superalloy characterized by solid oxidation resistance and serviceable strength at temperatures up to 1400-1600°F.
While Waspaloy’s creep-rupture strength is better than that of alloy 718 at temperatures higher than 1150-1200°F, Waspaloy’s short time hot tensile strength is inferior to 718 at temperatures up to 1350°F.
Welding is hard to do but is possible as long as Waspaloy is in the solution annealed condition.
The alloy’s high strength and oxidation resistance to 1750°F make it perfect for shafts and fasteners, gas turbine components, missile systems, and airframe assemblies.
